I'm halfway through cooking a frittata. It's:

a couple of potatoes, par boiled and sliced up.
an onion.
some baked beans.
a bit of old cheese.
a bit of ham
a few eggs.

Fry the onions till soft. Place spuds on bottom of pan on a high heat in oil or butter. Put onions on potato together with beans, ham, and eggs (I leave mine whole).

Place lid on pan and cook until eggs are done.

Substitute or add ingredients as wished to use up any leftovers.

Eat hot or cold.

Thanks Ww, I eat quite a lot of soup with various ingredients or whats on special offer. Also eggs in various forms. Because of my tum, I can only eat once a day, so try to have lots of protein and not much fibre. Which is a bit pants as fibre is filling!!

Anyone got good meal ideas that are both nourishing and cheap?

Costing would be good if possible and where to source the ingredients.

A whole weeks worth would be a good challenge with the ingredients already bought used for other meals.

I'll get my thinking cap on asap. Although its Mums birthday today and DSs FiL is expected to die today.

Such is family life!!
